This activity is designed to practice: Establish whether a number up to 100 is prime Description of Activity: Hand each pair of students at least 2 sets of shuffled 0-9 cards. Share the cards between the players to create two piles of cards which each player keeps face down. Each player takes it in turn to turn over one card and place in a neat pile in the centre. If the two sequential cards are a prime number, both players should call out “Prime”. The first player to do so wins the centre pile. The winner is the player to get all the cards.
